Chapter's 6th Annual Walk for Autism-Virginia will be held on Saturday, October 23, 2010 at the Prince William County Fairgrounds, 10624 Dumfries Road, Manassas, VA 20112. This Autism Walk /10K Ruck March/ 5K Run and Community Resource Fair will help raise awareness about the increasing frequency of autism and raises funds to help pay for autism treatments in the form of mini- grants. These grants are awarded to families dealing with the financial burden of autism. Many autism therapies are not provided in schools or covered by health insurance. More info is at www.walkforautismva. org. Last year, despite the rain, over 700 people registered for the walk consisting of many walkers, 50 teams and 40 runners. Twenty-eight companies sponsored the walk, helping to raise funds and support children afflicted with autism. Because of the tremendous level of support we received, 46 families in Northern Virginia received mini-grants worth approximately $60,000. We are grateful for the remarkable support provided by the community. As the rates of autism increases each year, so do the number of families in need. Our goal is to support every family in need. In order to make this possible, we need even more support from the community.
